P40HQ: 59(9) AARC
 Every year since 1997,
the Aruba ARC, as a member of the IARU, has made an effort to activate the club
call. Calls used: P43ARC, P40HQ and P41HQ.
Often, the IARU contest is run as a Single Operator or Multi Single station.
However, every few years, the local contesters form a serious
effort, and guest operators are invited. Any member can request the
usage of the club call for this contest. Guest operators may be granted
special permission to hand out the HQ multiplier on occasion
(voted in a general meeting).
QSL IARU contest QSO's as follows:
 | P43ARC via P4- bureau, AARC, P.O.Box 2273, San Nicolas, Aruba |
| P40HQ via I2MQP, Mario Ambrosi, Via delle Quelle 41,20090 Rodano (MI),
Italy |
| P41HQ via I2MQP, Mario Ambrosi, Via delle Quelle 41,20090 Rodano (MI),
Italy |
2005
The idea is to introduce contesting to more
local hams. The format will be multi multi from several stations, and this
format should give ample operating time to everyone. cw and ssb.
2004
The results are out: 6275 Qso 161 Zones, 165 HQ for 9,478,776
points.

The winner of
the t-shirt and the small sponsored gift by Acom to the first Single Op or M/S
station to work P40HQ on 6 bands SSB, CW or mixed is: NO2R. There were 9 stations that worked us on
all 6 bands,
unfortunately we have only one t-shirt to give out. Thanks to everyone for
working P40HQ.
2004 group; operators and technical help: P43A, P43DJ, P43E, P43JB, P43L, P43P, P43RC, P43W, P49V/AI6V, K1LZ,
N3KS, K6ND.
back row: P43JB, K1LZ, P43L, P43W, P49V/AI9V, P43A, P43E, P43DJ, K6ND
front row: P43RC, (P43W kids: Joshua, Maria Isabel,) N3KS, P43P
2003 - P41HQ by Single-op: P43P.
2002 - P41HQ by M/S:
The initial plan, was to have new hams run the IARU contest, by trying to
beat the 1997 crew that were mostly newly licensed hams. However, some
work commitments and family engagements have cancelled a bigger operation. KE9I, AJ9C, and
N9LAH have shown an interest in
working the club call, and thus 59(9) AARC will be given out by them for the 6th
consecutive year, as a M/S effort. QSL via I2MQP as always.
2001 - P41HQ by Single-op: P43E
2000 - P43ARC by Single-op:P43DJ
In 2000, we were not able to have a competitive team for
the IARU. Many of us from the 1999 team would be visiting in Slovenia, and a few
others were unable to participate due to work commitments. At the last minute, P43DJ was able to put the club station on the air, and
give out the AARC multiplier.
1999 - P40HQ
In 1999, we wanted to increase our score and run a bigger effort. Again
with the help of
Carl (P40V,) we would be running the contest. It was obvious that
the 1998 was small, and thus we enlarged the team. 1999 ops: P43A, P43DJ, P43E, P43N, P43P, P43T, P43W, P40K, P40R, P40V, P40W,
W6OAT, K6RC. Tech support: P43LMA.

1997 - P43ARC
In 1997, running of this contest was never planned in
advance. The club was having a lot of gatherings (BBQ, and
dominoes games) over the May, June weekends. This same group decided to enter the IARU contest
as an afterthought. We scrambled around for radios,
filters, antennas and invited all other club members to come and operate. End
result: only 800+ contacts, but more importantly, it created a group synergy,
and it introduced many young operators to contesting. Many of the original
group are still very active in contesting today.
1997 ops: P43A, P43AO, P43E, P43GM, P43HOT(now P43P),P43JB,
P43RR, P43T, P43W, YV4DPS/P4. Technician: P43LMA.
